This book explores the interrelated themes of modernization and slavery; issues that created reform movements in the North; defensive sectionalism in the South; social disruption; and a general failure of political leadership. During this period the Union underwent the increasing strains of uneven social and economic development. Modernization and slavery provide the backdrop for the action and reaction of northern and southern players who sought but ultimately failed to allow an accommodation that would let competing social and economic institutions coexist.

StaffordThoroughly Academic; and from an Orthodox standpoint. This book engages your mind with the Orthodox understanding of scripture; and insists that as you engage it; you must encounter the risen Christ; and be changed; otherwise you are not genuinely discerning the Truth or Christ.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An Orthodox view of Canon and CanonicityBy CustomerIt is rare for the Orthodox to address issues of canon and canonicity. Fr. John Behr is the only one (other than Fr. Georges Florovsky) to address these issues.
